"I swear to get my revenge on Victoria!""I bought my coat in Paris. But I have to throw it away because of her! Damn it!"Samantha and Britney both raised their beers. They are inside the bar, cozily sitting on the second floor amidst the loud music.They couldn't get over the fact that they were humiliated by Victoria inside the mall!"Can't we just upload the video?" Samantha asked.Britney answered, "Are you crazy? Our lawyer said we have a low chance of winning. They are people who witnessed us. If we cut the video, it will be easy for Victoria to claim that we did it.""F*ck. How can we take our revenge?" Samantha wondered."Hey. Remember that thing from the past that made Victoria do whatever we wanted?""You mean the secret we have on her?""Yeah. Let's use it again. We'll threaten to spill the beans to her parents.""But Victoria seems different now. She doesn't look scared of us anymore. And we have to be careful. Our families have warned us about messing with the Red family

Britney inquired.Samantha nodded. "Yes, Victoria is in there. And thanks to the cocktail she drank, she'll be out cold for an hour."Britney chuckled, "That's what she gets for messing with us. Her career is done for. We'll make sure she regrets it forever."She reached for her phone."I hid a camera in there. Let's see what happens!" Britney exclaimed.They both peered at the phone screen. But when they tried to access the live feed from the camera in the room, it was glitching."What the heck? Did my camera break?" Britney questioned.Suddenly, they heard thumping noises from inside the room.The two women pressed

[“We have to meet, Hunter.”]Hunter quickly glanced at Victoria's message on his phone. He was eager to see her, but...“You seem preoccupied, Hunter,” Martin observed, noticing his secretary's distraction with his phone.Hunter hastily pocketed his phone and faced his boss. “Oh, no, I'm not.”“You've seemed quite busy lately,” Martin remarked, flipping through some papers.“I've just been handling the fallout from the scandal, Sir.”“I understand. Please reschedule my appointment for later.

"I am sorry, Sir. I lost Secretary Hunter," a report came from the other line.Martin closed his eyes briefly before reopening them and bringing the phone back to his ear. "What happened?""He sped up out of nowhere, almost like he knew I was tailing him. Then, he darted across the street right before the light changed."'He's not someone to drive recklessly,' Martin thought.In the depth of his mind, he recalled someone who could drive like that. There was a day before when he was going to be late for his meeting. His bodyguard, Vic, proposed that day to drive.'I reached my destination in time. But after that, I told her not to drive for me again,' Martin chuckled at that thought."Sir?" the man who overheard Martin asked.He faked a cough and replied, "Nothing. Just do a better job next time." Then he hung up the call.Martin slouched in his chair."It was already difficult for me to accept that Victoria is Vic," he murmured.His mind told him he was mistaken. But his heart disagre

It feels like a dig at me.”"No, I'm not trying to insult you. Actually, I just realized why it was so easy for Mikhail to uncover my secret. You were really a unique person, Victoria," Vic said."Enough with that. Just be honest with me. What’s your real connection to my brother?
